Our journey to northern Uruguay took us through Artigas and Rivera in a completely new experience for Wine Explorers. Over two days, we discovered amethyst mines, family-owned wineries, border landscapes, local gastronomy, and wine projects with an identity deeply shaped by their surroundings. An adventure through amethysts and vineyards that reminded us, once again, of everything Uruguay has to offer when explored with time, curiosity, and a sensitive eye.

Our second harvest event, and the one that marked the closing of the 2026 season, took us to Sierra Oriental Winery, in José Ignacio, for a truly intimate and exclusive experience. A special opening of the winery just for Wine Explorers, allowing us to walk through the vineyards, take part in the harvest, and share a long lunch in a unique setting surrounded by rolling hills and vines, with the warmth and closeness of a gathering among friends.

Each harvest season we organize our classic grape harvest experiences together with different wineries across the country. In this 2026 edition, we visited Spinoglio Winery to enjoy a very special night harvest: a walk through the vineyard, harvesting grapes under the stars, the traditional grape stomping, and a paired dinner featuring some of the winery’s finest wines.
